Green Bay – A horrifying series of plays at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half destined the Packers on Sunday. They lost the NFC Championship Game to the Buccaneers 31-26 in Lambeau Field.
Tampa Bay got a long TD pass in the last few seconds of the first half, added another TD when the packers failed on the opening drive in the second half, and set up the QB Tom Brady in a short field.
The Buccaneers led 28-10 at that time. Green Bay rebounded with the help of three passcuts in the defense, but the Packers scored only 6 points from those turnovers and were short.
This is the fourth consecutive defeat for the NFC title game Packers in seven years.
On the day, QB Aaron Rodgers was 33-of-48 at 346 yards with 3 TDs, 1 intercept and 101.6 passer rating. WR Marques Valdes-Scantling caught 4 passes at 115 yards, including a 50-yard TD. WR Davante Adams has added nine catches to 67 yards and TD.
RB’s Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams combined 50 rush yards in 13 trials, and AJ Dillon added 17 yards in three runs. Jones left the match at the beginning of the third quarter due to a chest injury.
In the case of Tampa Bay, Brady achieved a passer rating of 73.8 with three TDs and three picks, 20-of-36 at 280 yards. WR Chris Godwin caught 5 times at 110 yards. RB’s Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones combined 71 yards with a 22-carry, and Fournette won a TD with a 20-yard run.
